A Time to Learn: One Writer's Journey to Oxford

By Candice Gibbons

Who am I? Why am I here? Where am I going?Sixteen-year-old Candice left a promising life at private school behind just five months after moving to a new state. What fun is there in homeschooling yourself when you don't even like academia? How can one make friends, prepare for college, and solidify their identity alone?

Welcome to one girl's reluctant (and surprising) time to learn.

From walking to work and singing Happy Birthday with toddlers on a playground to defending a controversial thesis in too-small heels, grow with Candice from age sixteen to twenty-one as she learns the connection between ideas and consequences that ultimately leads her to the oldest university in the English-speaking world as the youngest in her class.

A gradual, intimate thread following five years of life, A Time to Learn is a compilation of real dialogues, selected journal entries, and influential experiences documented everywhere from the corporate office to the alpine desert, all to the tune of the signature Times humor written specifically for the teenage girl.

Follow Candice from procrastinating homework at a kitchen table to graduating with an award from the world's top university.

It is time to realize your dreams.
